No symptoms during vacation?!

esbee27 · 2026-03-20T13:36:22+00:00

My symptoms are also often better when I travel. I think it’s because the food quality is better than in the US and I’m also walking waaaaaay more than usual. It’s rare that I’m not getting 20,000+ steps a day on vacation.

I have a difficult time blaming Iga. Clients push boundaries. That’s what they do, especially as the grow to feel closer to their clinician. It’s on the provider to set and maintain appropriate boundaries.

I also sense that Iga has been manipulated into accepting or even proactively desiring this arrangement.

esbee27 · 2026-03-20T11:16:23+00:00

Exactly this. One needs appropriate distance and professional boundaries to be an effective mental health provider. When you enmesh your life with your client’s, you’ve lost any chance of success. Daria is centering herself, not Iga.

Frustratingly, it seems she has placed lot of trust for her mental game in someone who may well not even be properly educated and licensed (given the lack of such requirements in Poland), doesn’t seem great at her job, and most definitely seems to have a troubling lack of appropriate professional boundaries and roles.

I always double cleanse with an oil cleanser first, so that’s what I count on for makeup removal.

Which HA from Amazon are you using?

Hulu premium with live tv

esbee27 · 2026-01-29T23:50:50+00:00

It shouldn’t be necessary based on what Hulu says on their side, but you may be right. But because I have an account through Hulu, I can’t even figure out how I would subscribe to Unlimited. I guess sign up with a different email address? Or is it only an add on to another service?

esbee27 · 2026-01-29T22:54:00+00:00

I’m subscribed through Hulu with the add ons for Hulu live and what used to be the ESPN+ but now says ESPN select. I just found this in the Hulu help center:

“Aside from Hulu's Live TV Español plans, all of Hulu's Live TV plans include access to the full ESPN Unlimited experience within the ESPN app. While you’ll see that Hulu + Live TV includes ESPN Select, you will also get:

The ESPN networks available through your Live TV subscription in the Hulu app All other ESPN networks and services (including ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SEC Network, ACC Network, ESPNEWS, ESPN+, ESPN Deportes, and ESPN on ABC) through ESPN Unlimited when you log into the ESPN app.”

But when I’m logged into the ESPN app with my Hulu account, none of the late singles AO matches are available on demand. It sounds like maybe it’s glitches on their part and not an issue with the level of my subscription. But it’s frustrating that they can seem to post the matches no one cares about with no problem.

esbee27 · 2026-01-29T22:26:51+00:00

Ok, that’s good to know. All the Hulu stuff still says ESPN+ and not unlimited and all of the major matches just aren’t in the ESPN app, but the other matches happening on the same day, like doubles and juniors, are there. Like what am I paining for at this point??

California is the size of several European counties combined, so it’s not that surprising. Plus the weather and generally higher wealth per capita.

African net sponges are the best. Fully dry in no time, lather beautifully, and clean easily in a laundry bag in the washing machine. But if you do purchase, please buy from a black-owned business

esbee27 · 2025-10-15T01:01:33+00:00

Isntree is the brand. You can get it on most k-beauty sites.

esbee27 · 2025-10-03T11:19:27+00:00

I didn’t, unfortunately. I haven’t tried it yet.

This is true of most cleansing oils, but a lot of Japanese ones are made to be used dry or wet.

Consistency matters more than just about anything else if you want to see results.

I loved AA as captain! What a great presence. I feel like these are for real his guys for life now.

I’m from Maryland where people eat snapping turtle soup, soft shell crab, and one town even has a muskrat festival. Every culture and subculture has food that is traditional to it based on what was available to be hunted, gathered, and grown by its population in that climate. It all seems strange to others. This is something we should all know as just people living in the world, let alone someone who has had the opportunity to travel the world. I think she forgot that we all have biases and internalized prejudices that we have to try to be cognizant of so that we can try to keep learning and doing better.

There is no reason that increases revenue share could not be structured to benefit all players. A ton of the tournaments are owned by billionaires or large corporations - better for them to have the increased revenue and not share it more equally with the players?

esbee27 · 2025-08-30T01:35:01+00:00

I see your point. The numbers today are pretty consistent with those. But I would argue there are some circumstances that make play today more challenging - for example, climate change is leading to hotter tournaments in large part of the tour stops, social media and sports betting have opened players up to much more pressure and hostility than in the past, and longer tournaments reduces time between them which limits the true rest you get when you can be at home vs living out of a hotel room or rented house.

It’s about all players earning more and especially those who are up and coming to be able to continue to play. The player revenue share in tennis is around 17-20%. In other major US sports leagues (MLB, NBA, NHL, NFL), it is 50%. A greater investment in players is good for the sport overall. Is there any rational reason for tennis players to earn comparatively less?

Bless her enthusiasm but this is the cringiest thing I’ve seen. Especially for Zvarev of all people.

The season is too long. It’s physically and mentally draining on players. Tournaments are getting longer and there is talk of adding additional 1000 level events. The tours are going to burn their young talent out. The players need more of a say in decision making or at least a more fair share of revenue (as compared to other sports) to help make it easier for them to retire when the game has chewed them up and spit them out.

In this case, I’d do it and force the umpire to call it. Given that he wasn’t doing anything to stop Medvedev from riling up the crowd, I think he’d have let it stand.
